injustice he has suffered and swearing vengeance, Asura discovers
he can use this fury to his advantage and turn it against his
enemies. Cue relentless action as Asura finds himself facing off
against numerous unique enemies, including planetary sized
bosses, unleashing devastating and visceral attacks. Asura's
Wrath loses the traditional distinction between gameplay and

prominent of this group. During the victory celebration, the
Emperor of Shinkoku was assassinated in a sinister plot and the
blame was placed on Asura. In the middle of the commotion,
Asura's wife was also murdered and his daughter kipped. With
even his brother-in-law and rival Yasha turning against him,
Asura was banished from Shinkoku. Awoken by a voice after 12,000
years, Asura vows revenge on all those who have betrayed him.
Unleash the wrath of the demigod Asura on a divine conspiracy of
